User agents often have history mechanisms, such as "Back" buttons and history lists, which can be used to redisplay an entity retrieved earlier in a session.
History mechanisms and caches are different. In particular history mechanisms SHOULD NOT try to show a semantically transparent view of the current state of a resource. Rather, a history mechanism is meant to show exactly what the user saw at the time when the resource was retrieved.
幸運的是,使用微軟的IE和基于Mozilla的瀏覽器用戶多余Opera瀏覽器。上面講述的解決方案對大多數用戶來說還是有幫助的。另外,無論是否使用上述的解決方案,Opera瀏覽器仍然存在用戶退出問題,就Opera來說沒有任何改變。然而,正如RFC2616中所說,通過像上面一樣設置頭文件指令,當用戶點擊一個鏈接時,Opera瀏覽器不會從緩存中獲取頁面。
